WINNING WICHITA"

In dull cid eastern town.
There lived man named Brown;
OF gold ne bad goodly store,
And friends some fifty score.
But alas! when bis gold he lent,
He received but four per cent,
And his heart was i'll at ease.
For his rent roll was on the decrease.
His hair grew grey,
And sadly he pinned away,
But help was at hand,
Though he little knew that soon his gold he
would trebble in western land.
For some good real estater Of Wichita ian
angel in disguised
Sent him an EAGLE, which when he read 1t,
caused him much surprise.
He resolved that he would see,
II what he read was true.
He babe his friends Eta, IA, ira, Ia,
And quickly skipped for Wichita.
Arriving here he found that all was true.
And quickly he resolved that he would do
As he saw others doing from early till late;
In short. he resolved to invest in real estate.
And yesterday while walking down the
street
Whom should meet
But Mr.. Brown with a corner lot smile on
his face,
While he seemed to say, s'Winning Wichita
has won the race.

THAT GOLD DISCOVERY.

In digging ci-t+rn on G P. Gibson'a lot
in Ransom g. McKay'S addition, a deposit of
black sand was struck. An old miner struck
with its resemblance to the gold bearing
sands of Colorado, PANIED out some of it and
to his astonishment discovered what he
thought was gold dust, but in such quanti-
ties as to stagger his relief. Yesterday after
noon some of our jewellers were applying all
Of the tests Of which they knew anything
with but one unvarry ii;;ss -csnlt. and that of
genuine gold. Mr.. Gibson brought some OF
the dust to this Office yesterday afternoon.
Our judgement is against the tests. but for
all that it NAV he gold.

THE DEL MONTE HOTEL FIRE,
Preliminary Examination Of e. T.

Arson.

vi. ~
Arson.
ESPECIAL TO TIL sENTINEL.l
MONTEREY, April 28.-The preliminary
examination Of E. T. M. Simmons, late
manager of the Hotel Del Monte, on the
charge Of arson, in having set fire to the
hotel, began here to-day. The hall where
the trial was held was crowded with spec.
tators. F. G. Cleary, counsel for the de-
PENDANT. filed & petition for q continuance
until tomorrow. The affidavit filed with
the petition states that the defendant was
informed that Justice Westfall, before
whom the examination had been set, said
on the night OF the fire to two gentlemen
that Simmons and his friends had con-
spired to burn the hotel. The petition
AYERS. that by reason Of the aforesaid facts
Justice Westfall is not qualified TO conduct
the examination. A continuance was
asked to allow time to obtain the afida-
Wits Of @. Wadham and W. B. Laird, the
persons to whom Justice Westfsll is al.
legged to have made the statement regard
ing Simmons. The Court refused to grant
a continuance. F. s.. Douty, manager of
the Pacific Improvement Company, by
whom the hotel was owned, was the first
witness. His testimony consisted mainly
Of the terms under which Simmons was
employed by the hotel. In his cross
examination be stated that Simmons was
removed becaused S~choenwald was pre-
ferred. Simmons had always performed
his duties faithfully, but could not say
that the guests were satisfied with him.
@. Williams, bookkeeper, stated that
Simmons ordered him not to strike q bal
snce every day, as was his custom, but to
carry the entries along in pencil for the
whole month before striking balance in
ink. He gave as o reason that corrections
could be made il errors occurred. Wit
ness thought this mode of bookkeeping
improper. Addie E, Allen, an employe
Of the hotel, stated that on the night Of
the fire she asked Simmons where he was
when the the fire broke out. He an
swered that he was visiting the rooms Of
Miss Becht. with others, and when the
bell boy came to the door and announced
that he smelled smoke, and that he went
to find the source Of it. She further
testified that the conversation with Sim
the FIRE started. J.. A. Clough, room clerk
of the hotel, testified that on the day of
the fire, in . conversation with Simmons,
be remarked to the latter that il was q
strange fire, to break out on that partic-
ular night, and added that 10 was said
that Simmons set the hotel afire. Sim
mons replied that be could prove that he
spent the evening before with Captain
vandergift's family and that the Captain
on his leaving said to him: "If any one
accuses you Of this crime I will furnish
the money to prosecute him for libel"
Adjourned duntil tomorrow.
